    "Quick, Xiaoliu, give me your phone."

    Hearing his son¡¯s complaint, Du Juan quickly put down the rice pail in his hand and took his cell phone and asked with concern: ¡°Xiaohui, what¡¯s going on?

    Why is your school cafeteria collapsed?

    And how are you now? Do you still have money? How much rice and food do you need?  "

    ¡°Mom, my sister is back home!

    Could she not be able to hold on outside?  "

    As soon as Yu Hui, who was on the other side of the phone and was in the school dormitory, heard Du Juan's words, he knew that the person who just answered the phone was not his mother, and immediately asked curiously.

    ¡°Probably, the foreign trade company went bankrupt.

    Your sister came back without a job.

    Now in our area, a bowl of beef noodles costs seventy-eight yuan. There is only one piece of beef in it, which is as thin as a cicada. It also costs ten yuan to add noodles. The place where your sister is staying is  The prices outside your school are certainly not lower.

    It will only be higher than ours.

    It won¡¯t be lower than ours.

    ¡°With our current appetite, we would have to add more than a dozen portions to a meal just to eat noodles. It is estimated that we would not be able to eat enough for less than three or four hundred yuan a day.

    "I won't talk about your sister anymore. Your sister is back."

    There is no need to worry about going hungry now.

    What is the situation over there?  "

    After Du Juan casually talked about Qiao Mu's current situation, he immediately asked about his son's current situation.

    ¡°Oh, Mom, you don¡¯t know.

    Life here is miserable for me.

    First, the quality of the food in the school cafeteria has become worse and worse, and the price has become more and more expensive. If it were not more expensive outside than in the school cafeteria, I would have eaten in the cafeteria.

    But even so, all the tenant owners in the cafeteria couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and had to cancel their leases.

    The cafeteria is almost empty now.

    There are only two companies left, one sells clear water.

    One family sells soy sauce and vegetable rice.

    If I go out to eat, it would be difficult for me to eat something meaty with my daily part-time salary.

    All the cafeterias within dozens of miles around the school collapsed, and there were no bones left.

    I really can¡¯t hold on any longer.

    I just called home for help.

    Two days ago, the school just allowed us to cook and eat in the dormitory, but today all our supermarkets have begun to implement purchase restrictions. Even if you have a local household registration, a person can only buy ten kilograms of rice a day. If you do not have a local household registration, you can only buy ten kilograms of rice a day.  I can only buy one kilogram of rice at most, and one kilogram of rice is really not enough to eat.

    That¡¯s why I wanted to ask.

    Can you send me some rice at home?

    I don¡¯t need vegetables. I can make do with soy sauce, pickles and the like, but I really can¡¯t stand being without food.  "

    Yu Hui in the dormitory also knew the situation of his family, so he didn't dare to make any high demands at all. He only hoped that his family would send him some rice and noodles, and then he would make do with soy sauce and pickles.

    "Xiaohui, didn't I tell you half a year ago that I asked you to stock up on snacks or something? Didn't you take my words seriously and didn't listen?"

    After listening to the younger brother¡¯s description.

    Qiao Mu also approached the phone and asked.

    ¡°Sister, can I not listen to what you say?

    But I don¡¯t have much money, so the amount of things I store is really limited. And there are so many roommates in the same dormitory. They occasionally ask me to buy something, and it¡¯s hard for me to refuse, let alone raise the price to sell to them, so I don¡¯t  How long it will be gone.

    "I knew the situation was so serious."

    I wouldn¡¯t have sold it to them in the first place.  "

    As he spoke, Yu Hui's tone was a little aggrieved, and he felt very regretful in his heart.

    ¡°You kid, you don¡¯t know how to say no.

    So this time my family sends you some rice, what are you going to do? Should you eat it by yourself or share it with your classmates instead of giving it to others.

    There is not much food left at home.

    Just eat it by yourself. No matter whether they want to buy it at a low price or a high price, don¡¯t sell it. As long as the virus is not solved, the price of food will definitely become more and more expensive in the future. You can grow your own snacks. I¡¯m here.  First, I will send you two hundred kilograms of rice and fifty kilograms of dried noodles, bacon sausages, pickles and dumplings, so you can save some.

    I¡¯ll give you another two thousand yuan later.

    It should take a while before the food reaches you. Don¡¯t starve to death anymore. Don¡¯t eat anything good. Buy more Northeastern solid steamed buns.

      Doesn¡¯t the store also sell spicy strips?

    It¡¯s good to just use spicy strips to sandwich the steamed buns.

    Oh no, steamed buns with spicy strips would be good. If it¡¯s more expensive, just add some pickled cucumbers or something.

    Don¡¯t starve yourself, but be economical.  "

    ¡° Du Juan also wanted his son to eat better, but his family¡¯s finances did not allow it.

    With today's prices and people's appetites today, if you want to eat well, if you want to eat delicious dishes such as braised pork, and eat enough, then I'm afraid three to five thousand yuan a day is just the basics, and it will cost tens of thousands.  Only then can you really eat better.

    This is something their family can afford.

    The combined retirement salary of the old couple is less than 10,000 yuan. All their previous savings were used to buy a house. The two houses they bought with loans ten years ago are now not as expensive as thirty pigs.

    My daughter is unemployed again.

    What can we do if we are not frugal?

    You can¡¯t drink the northwest wind in two years.

    "Got it, Mom? Thank you, Mom!

    My address is still the address of the school. By the way, Mom, you must not be reluctant to spend money on express delivery. You must choose the more expensive express company.

    If I use other express delivery, I am worried that the package will be lost.  "

    When Yu Hui heard that his mother had promised to send him two hundred kilograms of rice, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tone became much lighter, and he felt quite good.

    Immediately afterwards, the mother and son exchanged a few words and hung up the phone. Qiao Mu sat on the edge, thinking about the shelf life and production date of the pile of things he bought, and said:

    ¡°Mom, many of the things I bought are about to expire, and some are also about to expire.

    You go back and pick some to send to Xiaohui.

    No more wasted food.  "

    ¡°I know, I told you not to buy those fancy things and pick out more compressed biscuits and military rations with a long shelf life, but you didn¡¯t listen.

    You don¡¯t buy the high-pressure military ration biscuits with a shelf life of five years, but you buy the high-gluten biscuits with a shelf life of eight months. You still say that the biscuits are healthy. What¡¯s the use of being healthy now?  It¡¯s reliable if it has a long shelf life.  "

    Du Juan continued to eat.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT off?I didn¡¯t forget to say a few words about Qiao Mu.

    ¡°Mom, I remember that¡¯s not what you said at that time. I remember that you specifically told me to buy healthy products. Those with too long shelf life also contain a lot of preservatives, which are not good for my health. You¡±

    Qiao Mu didn¡¯t finish his words.

    She was interrupted by her father coughing twice.

    ¡°Cough cough cough cough¡­

    ¡°Daughter, save some face for your mother.

    Didn't she know at the time that things would become so serious and that the virus would spread so much? Come on, eat quickly. After eating, go and pack away the things you bought and pick out all the things with a short shelf life.  Let¡¯s quickly pick out the ones with a short shelf life and eat them later.  "

    Although what his wife did was not right at first, in order to prevent his wife from going crazy, Yu Dabao still hurriedly came out to smooth things over.

    Advise Qiao Mu to eat quickly.

    Stop arguing with her.

    If he loses the argument, it will do him no good. If he wins the argument, he will be unlucky when he goes to sleep at night.

    Why bother?

    Who did he provoke?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
